It's fecking 4 am and I just can't sleep.

Was up on new year's day for 18 hours on an emergency job and slept the whole of the next day. My bio-clock is totally out of sync.... been falling asleep at 6 pm since and up around about 1 am. Similar to jet lag.

Tried everything and am really frustrated.... in a couple of hours, I'll be taking the family out for a 4 wheel drive in the desert excursion.... Looking forward to it but I know I'll be knackered by 5 pm again.

Have you tried reading a few of Mick's posts (always works for me )

Only joking Mick

A hammer over the head, always does the trick. Gives you a headache the following morning mind. :;):

Knock yourself out with lots of ale

Reading works for me. Not that I always get sleepy when reading but before bed I find it helps.

knock one out, and keep mobile away from you, then a little read and you're sorted

Lay down in bed and watch a film, make sure it's pitch black in the room mind

I'm still stuffed..... a little better than the previous 2 days.... went to bed around 8 pm so I missed the game.... but got up at 3 am instead of my usual 5.30am...... looks like theres no 2 ways about it.... I'm gonna have to slowly phase back into my normal rhythm over the next couple of days.

I must be getting old.... a couple of years ago I'd have been able to work all night and be strong as a bull the next day... but now, I exert myself a wee bit and I'm feckin knackered!

:no

if you can't sleep because you're body clock has gone out of sync for whatever reason try taking melatonin. i always use it when i'm flying long haul and it deffo helps...

Ive had this on and off for years Conn. Only way 'out' of the cycle (for me anyway) is to force yerself to stay awake during the next day. Might take a day or so of compensating...but it can help. Not great fun whilst doing it mind :lookaround

I took a couple of them Nytol things when on my way back from the Uk in the Summer, and they absolutely pole-axed me. That said, touch wood I can normally sleep like a baby most of the time anyhow. Night nurse is equally tranquilizing for me, as is a bottle of whisky. Just depend what mood your in really.
